Rider Break! Episode 06: The Devil's In The Details

A tribute to igadevil.com's kinda-sorta namesake, plus the first-ever Rider Break! contest! Which is now long over!

This episode was originally released on 7/14/2012In This Episode: • Rider Break!'s shortest episode yet (next one'll be longer, I just wanted to try something different.)• Kamen Rider Wizard gets some new toys!• Some brief thoughts on Kamen Rider Fourze episodes 41 & 42!• The Top 6 Reasons Ikadevil is My Favorite Rider Kaijin Of All Time.• Plus an exciting announcement you must sit through the episode to hear (though if you're listening to this any time after 2012, it no longer applies.)Episodes Notes:• Music used includes:

"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka
"Shocker Pursuit" (BGM)
"Shocker of the Devil" (BGM)
"Fight! Cyclone" by Masato Shimon• This was the shortest gap between two episodes ever! While there likely won't be another one until the end of the month/early August, hopefully this is the start of more regular episodes of this little podcast.

• Recording this episode was almost as difficult as the filming for the Rider episode I spend the majority of it talking about. My voice was starting to go early on, and I recorded this while juggling a billion other things (including Ishinomori Week) so it's all a bit, as I say in the episode, haphazard. I had to record it in chunks at different times, hence some slight changes in volume & sound quality. I also notice I slur a couple words together ("astronaut and all that" and "good on you" is what I was saying.) Despite all that, this was one of my favorite episodes to do.• Wizard pictures described in the episode can be found here and here.

• Sound clips in this episode come from Kamen Rider episodes 68 & 93, as well as All Riders vs. Daishocker.

• For a comparison of Girizames & Ikadevil:

Notice the "cowl" motif I mention, plus the golden belt buckles (and, now that I think about it, the silvery belts, the aquatic theme, even the asymmetric left hand. I forgot to mention that even poor Girizames was a victim of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans, with the trailer for episode 67 using the earlier scenario name of "Nokogirizames".

• Hopefully the contest rules are clear enough and this won't turn out to be a total disaster! I think it's simple enough: retweet or favorite the message for this episode post. That's it! I'll worry about the rest.

• I mention no other sites, podcasts or people on this episode. Give them all a visit anyway!Timestamps:
